    Author: Ni Raghallaigh H, Pineda-Turner A, Mather K, Chetwood A.
    Journal: Ann R Coll Surg Engl; 2023 Apr; 105(4):386-387. PubMed ID: 35904334.
    Abstract:
    Melanosis bladder refers to the urothelium of the bladder appearing black and velvety, with microscopic evaluation describing melanin deposition. Risk factors, pathogenesis and clinical implications are unknown because only sporadic cases are reported in the literature, both with and without the presence of urinary tract symptoms or malignancy. We report a case of melanosis bladder in a male patient with voiding urinary symptoms and an untreated hypospadias.
